Girls, Are girls shy or uninterested?

[Anonymous]

A lot of times when I am talking to a girl or I randomly make eye contact they immediately look down , they don't hold the eye contact. I don't know if they are shy because I get compliments frequently from guys that I am handsome and I am in good shape. Also when I am in group conversations in class she is cool with everyone else , but doesn't make eye contact with me.

maybe :c i was quite the shy type when it came to eye contact once upon a time, so it made me really on edge (especially if i liked the guy) and feeling like avoiding the person, so the uncomfortable feeling wouldn't repeat itself. if the girl is shy, you absolutely need to take things slow and have patience. don't be too agressive; go natural beyond everything else. shy people may not talk as much, but we look at the little details. if you're trying to show her you like her, she probably noticed and that's why she's behaving weirdly -qq but that's from personal experience

If a man ever looked at me in the past I'd look away immediately, even if I was attracted to them. It's just my natural instinct to look away for some reason, I feel awkward else. Plus I never liked it if a guy found out I liked him because of my insecurities that he wouldn't like me back so I preferred him not to know unless he told me he was interested.

Well to be completely honestly the question itself is relative in nature because no two individuals are identical, though from time to time you may find individuals who clique better than others. As for me if you aren't completely "tone deaf" to flirtatious behavior it is obvious whether or not I'm being timid or outright ignoring someone. As for the girl you spoke of in your description, it could go both ways without seeing it first hand myself, but it sounds like she may have an I cling of interest but is to shy or embarrassed to act of the emotions.

Shy. Or uninterested. But usually looking down means shy. Looking to either side or to someone else is usually uninterested (as it would be looking around for something more interesting than you.) Be confident and dont worry about it too much. Unless of course you fancy her, in which case then go past her and smile or even compliment her shirt or something and see how she responds. Comes from my own experience.

You should really just wait until she is completely ready. by her response, she does like you as a person but maybe doesn't fully trust you yet, which is totally fine, you've only known each other fir a few weeks. give her some time and ask again later, maybe try opening more up to her so she knows you are a trusty person and gains more courage to see you. another reason she might have refused you is that she's uncomfortable or insecure about her body image, girls are very self conscious when it comes to their appearance in front of guys so if you like her looks, make her know that ;)

They could be one or the other, if not both.
Either way, I wouldn't want to maintain eye contact with a random guy in class or whatever who seemed to be going out of his way to stare at me. That kind of behaviour is incredibly rude and comes off as almost predatory.

Here's a tip. If a girl acts one way with everyone but you that means she likes me. If she was uninterested then she'd treat you the same way she does everyone else. If what you said is true and you do get many compliments from other people including other men then she probably feels intimidated by you. If you like her too then talk to her and make her feel comfortable around you.

Eye contact can be uncomfortable for some and give off the wrong signal for others. Prolonged eye contact may mean they are very interested, So maybe its her way to let you know that. Personally I would stare right back at you but only because I hate people staring at me.

Sounds like me with the guy I like. She's shy. You having that confidence knowing you're handsome and good looking makes us feel insecure especially if we don't think we are beautiful. I would know, I'm one of those people.

Personally I think this is the best response

It depends on the person, if you are quite direct as person then it is possible that others can be intimidated by your personality, no matter the gender in my opinion ☺

There can be 3 possibilities.
1. If she is extravert person but she is shy only with you maybe she is in love with you and trying to hide it by kinda ignoring you
2. From my experience there are some kind of boys the girl can feel inferior (such as she feels that she is not beautiful or clever or funny. she is not good enough to have a power to talk or make an eye contact) so she doesn't want you to notice her
3. Maybe she hates you and trying to ignore you. Maybe you irritate her🤔😕

I'm speaking for myself... if an attractive guy catches me staring at them i look away i don't want him to see me drooling all over him figuratively speaking. Hopefully he gets the hint that I'm interested and maybe makes his way to me and we talk.
